On the Spacecraft (1968) (Part 2)

Part 2 of my post on this colorfully illustrated book. I find the colors and illustration style of this book really unique.

On the spacecraft. Painted by Stakhursky. Poland: Zaklady Graficzne. 22 cm. 134 p.  Russian issue of 1966 Polish book titled "W kosmicznym pojeździe" (In the space vehicle or In the spacecraft)

The mechanical device see almost surreal and I have never seen a "space dog" anywhere that was as strange as this.

The beautiful weirdness just goes on and on.

I am not sure if these are supposed to be androids or just heavily modified humans.

Exploration of alien worlds seems to include meeting aliens themselves.

 The books ends on a realistic note showing some of the actual planned spacecraft on both the Russian and U.S. sides of the space race.  I hope you enjoyed these illustrations, I am glad I had a chance to share such great bits of imagination.
